I bought two of them, both on ebay for $250-$275 in really nice shape. It did take a lot of bidding to get them that cheap. Make sure you get the MC version, The Symmar-S was the transitional symmar from coated to MC and they didnt change the name. The multicoated version says multicoating on the front barrel and of course has the obvious multicolored look to the optics. But you have to ask the seller because like I said, the symmar-S lenses were made both ways....Both of mine are incredibly sharp. Another nice thing is you will get more coverage for front shift/rise with a symmarS 135 vs. the wollensak 127 which has basically no extra coverage whatsoever... JCO
And the Symmar designs are incredible, especially the single-coated for the price paid.
The 135/235 Convertible version commonly sells for around $150
and has good color correction and good sharpness edge to edge.
